Serendipity

When my daughter was helping me when I was sick she saw a woodpecker at my birdfeeder. By the time I got up to see it, it had flown away. I was so disappointed to miss it. This morning as I was sitting at the breakfast table it graced me with its presence once again and since I had my camera close by was able to get this shot! Needless to say I was so excited.

[Kathy Burzynski]

so cool to see this little guy from this angle, it is usually a side profile pecking a tree. Love it

[katy]

@myhrhelper I guess someone was watching out for me because I really wanted a profile shot but didn't want to risk missing any shot so I took this one Thanks so much KAthy

[Mary Siegle]

Sweet shot! What luck...or maybe generous helpings of bird seed had more to do with it than luck. 🤔

[katy]

@mcsiegle The birdseed definitely played a hand in it but I think it was more like because I’ve been feeding birds for several years and this is the first time I have seen a woodpecker more than once

[Diane]

A great photo! So glad he came back for a picture.

[katy]

@eudora thank you. I was too
